Page 17 of Protection for Nichole

His gaze flicked to her lips before he spoke. “If I kiss you, would you be okay with that?”

She nodded. “Yes. I want you to kiss me.”

“What if I put my hands on your back?”

She nodded again as she slid her hands around to his back and then lower to the waistband of his pants. His ass hadgrown more firm in the four years since she’d seen him. He felt different. Almost like he’d gained muscles. He’d been strong before, but now she could feel the hardened muscles under his shirt.

His lips ticked up, and he leaned in, closing the distance to only inches. “If I took off my shirt, would that be okay?”

“Yes.” The word came out breathy, revealing how much he affected her.

“What about if I removed my pants and underwear?”

She was breathing harder, and her blood was pumping faster as expectation filled her. “What if I took off my clothes, too?”

His lips came down on hers, and his tongue slid along the slit of her lips. She opened and slid her fingers under the waistband of his pants, then tugged at his shirt, pulling it up. She touched his skin, and they both pulled back and hissed in a breath.

It was like her touch had burned them both. The heat was off the charts, making her want to remove her clothes immediately. She pulled up his shirt and then abandoned getting him undressed. She yanked her shirt up, tugging it overhead.

Jesse stepped back, his gaze sweeping over her body appreciatively. She slowed her movements, liking how blown out his pupils were and the way he licked his lips like he wanted her.

She shot him a smile, hoping he took it as an invitation. “I want to feel you up against me.”

“I need to shower first.”

Nichole popped the hook on her bra and let it fall from her body. She shivered as Jesse reached down and palmed his cock.

She shoved her pants low. “I’ll join you.”

“Fuck yeah.” Jesse sobered and reached out to put his hands on her shoulder. “Are you sure about this? I don’t want to do anything you don’t want to.”

She put her hand on his chest and nodded. “I want you.”

Jesse held her gaze, his expression serious as he studied her. After a few seconds, he nodded. “Okay. But if you want to stop at any point, I’ll stop. I won’t ever push you to do anything you don’t want to do.”

She cupped his cheek, her thoughts flashing to Angie. “I’m good. I want you. I want you inside me.”

Jesse shivered and pulled her close, his clothes raking over her sensitive skin. She wrapped her arms around him, her hands roving from his back lower to his butt. She could feel the hard ridge of his cock against her belly and moaned.

He pulled back, and she groaned with disappointment. “More.”

His chuckle grazed her nerves, leaving her even more needy. “I need to get undressed. Then we’ll shower, and I’m going to show you a great time.”

Before, when they’d been together at the resort, he’d rocked her world. She hoped that hadn’t been a one-time thing. Amazing sex wouldn’t happen every time, but the sex with Jesse had been better than anything she’d ever experienced before.

As he stripped off his clothes, her mouth went dry at the sight of him. He was even more beautiful than she remembered. His new position in the Navy must have him working out a lot.

He picked her up and tossed her over his shoulder, surprising the hell out of her. She let out a screech and put her hands on his bare butt to steady herself.

“I’ve got you.” Jesse’s hand tightened on her leg as he held her more firmly.

He set her down in the bathroom and then pressed her up against the wall as his hands roved over her body. When he slid his fingers over her clit, it only took him a second to find the perfect spot.

“Oh fuck,” she moaned as he slid his fingers between her legs, taking her higher. “So good.”

Jesse chuckled as he lowered his head and licked her nipples. Pleasure rippled through her, making her feel like she was floating on a cloud. It was like he knew her body and exactly what she liked.

His teeth grazed over her nipple, sending another wave of pleasure through her. She jerked from the explosion of sweet heaven that slid down every nerve. He’d set her off with each touch of his fingers. Each graze against her clit sent electricity straight through her. He pushed her closer to orgasm, leaving her desperate to get off.
